CVE-2026-27169: OpenSift is an AI study tool that sifts through large datasets using semantic search and generative AI. Versions 1.1.2-a

OpenSift, an AI study tool that uses semantic search (finding information by meaning rather than exact keywords) and generative AI to analyze large datasets, has a vulnerability in versions 1.1.2-alpha and below where untrusted content is rendered unsafely in the chat interface, allowing XSS (cross-site scripting, where attackers inject malicious code that runs in a user's browser). An attacker who can modify stored study materials could execute JavaScript code when a legitimate user views that content, potentially letting the attacker perform actions as that user within the application.
